The Development of Computer-Based Information System To Improve Efficiency In The Calculation Of Food Stock Need For The Provision Of Food At Nutrition Installation Of AAA Hospital.

Background: The rapid development of science and technology in the globalization era, particularly information technology enables data or information to be processed quickly and accurately. Nutrition service in the form of food provision in hospitals requires precision and accuracy  as well as speed in its process. Therefore the utilization of science and technology especially computer-based information system will be of much help. Nutrition installation of AAA Hospital still uses manual method in calculating the need for food stock so that it needs more time and nutrition staff to do the work.   

Method: The study was a quasi experiment (before and after) without control group to find out the difference in duration of food stock need calculation before and after the implementation of computer-based information system in the food provision at Nutrition Installation of AAA Hospital.

Result: The implementation of computer-based information system at nutrition installation improved nutrition staff and time efficiency in the calculation of food stock needs. Only one nutrition staff was needed to operate computer, whereas in the manual calculation method two nutrition staff were needed to do the work. The time needed to calculate food stock before the implementation of computer-based information system in average was 3.5 hours and after the implementation was 1.6 hours, based on statistical test at significance level 95% p<0.05. This meant there was difference in duration of time needed before and after the implementation of computer-based information system in food provision at Nutrition Installation of AAA Hospital.

Conclusion: The development of computer-based information system improved nutrition staff and time efficiency in the calculation of food stock need in food provision at Nutrition Installation of AAA Hospital.
